(14,269 posts)Unfortunately for us we love someone with charisma and flash, generally. We are way, too celebrity focused in our present day culture.
Our dear president is the real deal and as sharp as a tack. He is low key, though, and doesn't hog the spotlight, or podium. He is a very busy man who is committed to doing the best he can.
He often is bowled over by all those who do hog the spotlight, including the sick fuck. The media can't look away. It knows the public appetite.
It sure the heck isn't President Biden's fault that he isn't cute and cuddly with Einstein-like looks, or presents a created-tough-guy image with heavy bronzer, shoe lifts and shoulder pads, and hair weaves. He also doesn't ooze cool like our beloved former president Obama who was so smooth both in looks and speech. He does dress neatly, retains a good physic, and is serious--and caring.
We (again, in general) seem to glob on to a personality. Thank goodness in the case of former President Obama he was also a good man and a wonderful leader.
I often think that we are in a reality show personality contest. Very, very scary.
